Evidence of past spend
A confirmed paid placement is a past transaction with a source you can check. That makes it firmer than an intent guess from a page visit, but it isn't proof of a current need for your product.
How it works
Four steps from public signal to a shortlist you can explain.
A company that paid to be listed somewhere has shown it will spend money on distribution. We find that evidence, check the business behind it, and show you its public business contact routes.
- 01
We search for spend
We sweep public directories, launch boards, marketplaces and listing pages for signals that a business has paid someone on the internet to grow. Paid placements, promoted slots, high-effort submissions and ad tech all count as evidence.
Public pages only. No logins, no paywalls, no scraped leak dumps.
- 02
We extract and score
From each company's own site we pull the product, audience, pricing, maturity and public business contact routes, then score how strong the buying signal is. Every non-derived field carries the source URL and the date we saw it.
Unknown stays blank. We never invent a price, a category or an address.
- 03
You discover and connect
Filter by category, signal strength, contactability and maturity. Every row shows why it qualified, so you can judge fit before you spend a minute on it. Export the set you chose as CSV or a ready-made AI prompt, or connect your AI assistant and work the list from chat.
Suppressed companies are never shown or exported, on any plan.
- 04
You reach out and grow
Open the published business channel — email, contact form or social account — and make your case to a company with source-backed evidence of paying for distribution. Draft it yourself or with your AI assistant. Your outreach, your voice, your customers.
You send the messages. This product never sends email on your behalf.
BuyerCue MCP New
Ask your AI assistant for leads. It brings the evidence.
Connect BuyerCue to Claude Code, Codex, Claude, or any assistant that supports remote MCP with OAuth. Then ask in plain English: find companies that fit your offer, unlock the best ones within a daily limit you set, and draft a first message for each. Setup takes one copied prompt and a sign-in.
- “Tell me about the leads I've unlocked.”
- “Find 3 more leads for my product and unlock them.”
- “Summarize my top 5 leads, the best way to reach each, and a two-sentence intro.”
01Copy the setup prompt
Open Connected apps in your account and copy one prompt into your assistant. It adds the BuyerCue server for you, or walks you through its connector settings.
02Sign in and set a daily limit
Approve access on BuyerCue. Choose whether the app may unlock leads and how many tokens it can spend per day. No API keys to paste.
03Ask in plain English
Ask about leads you own, find and unlock new ones that fit your offer, then have it draft a first message for each.
You stay in control of spend
- Each app gets its own daily token allowance, set by you on BuyerCue. A chat message can lower it, never raise it.
- Locked companies stay locked. Search returns previews only, and unlocking costs 1 token per new company, the same as on the site.
- The app can't buy tokens. Change its limit or disconnect it at any time from Connected apps.
- Your assistant drafts, you send. BuyerCue never sends outreach on your behalf.
No setup? Use with AI
Or paste the evidence into any AI.
On any company you've unlocked, or a whole list in My Leads, choose Use with AI. Pick a task, say what you sell, and copy a ready-to-paste prompt into Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant. No tokens are spent. Read the guide.

Illustrative example, not a real company.
# Draft first-touch messages: 1 company ## What I sell <offer>Churn analytics for Stripe-billed SaaS</offer> ## Rules - Use only the facts in the <companies> block… - Business channels only. Drafts only: I send. <company n="1"> name: PulseDesk does: Shared-inbox helpdesk for small support teams buying signal: 81/100 · high listings: - saaslaunchpad · confirmed paid · first seen 2026-08-21 stack: paid tools: Intercom, Segment, HubSpot reach: easy · best route: contact form </company>
- The companies you chose, with product, pricing, stack, listings, buying signal and contact routes
- A field guide, so the assistant reads a buying signal as a priority, not a purchase probability
- Ground rules: use only these facts, business channels only, and draft for you to send
Why it works
Past spend beats a job title.
Repeat listings, shown separately
When a company appears on several paid boards, we list each placement with its source and dates so you can see the pattern yourself. Past placements don't predict future spend.
Checkable evidence
Every claim links back to the page it came from, with the date. You can verify a row before you send anything.
Reachable today
We only qualify companies with at least one published business contact route, so the list is actionable, not aspirational.
What this is, and what it isn't
We show you where every fact came from and when. If we don't know something, we leave it blank.
- Every record shows the date we last saw it, so you always know how fresh it is. Anything we haven't re-confirmed in 90 days is flagged as stale.
- Detected tools and ad pixels are strong clues about how a company operates. They show what's installed, which is a great starting point, though not proof of a paid plan or current ad spend.
- Scores help you decide where to start. They reflect general buying signals, so they work best alongside your own sense of fit for your product.
- BuyerCue doesn't push your leads to any AI service. Use with AI builds a prompt you paste yourself. A connected assistant sees only what it asks for over the connection you approved: previews, plus companies you've unlocked. Either way, you review every draft before it goes anywhere.
- We focus on companies, not individuals. Every contact route is a public business channel, like a company inbox, contact form or brand account, and never a personal address.
